Q: Do Blood Glucose Test Strips Expire?
A: Yes, blood glucose test strips do expire, and using them past their expiration date can lead to inaccurate readings. The expiration date is printed on the packaging, and exposure to air, humidity, and extreme temperatures can also affect their accuracy. Some test strips may come with a vial that contains a desiccant to help maintain stability, but it's always best to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and discard expired strips. If you're unsure whether your test strips are still reliable, consult your healthcare provider or compare results with a control solution for accuracy.
Q: How Do Blood Glucose Test Strips Work?
A: Blood glucose test strips contain enzymes and electrodes that react with blood sugar levels. When blood is applied, the strip sends an electrical signal to the meter, which then displays the glucose reading.
Q: Are Blood Glucose Test Strips Accurate?
A: Yes, FDA-approved test strips from brands like OneTouch Verio, Contour Next, Accu-Chek, and FreeStyle are designed for high accuracy. However, results may vary due to factors like expired strips, improper storage, or incorrect usage.
Q: How to Dispose of Blood Glucose Test Strips?
A: Used blood glucose test strips should be disposed of properly in a sharps container or biohazard waste bin, especially if contaminated with blood. Check your local disposal regulations for medical waste.
Q: How Often Should You Test Blood Sugar?
A: The frequency of blood sugar testing depends on your diabetes type and treatment plan. Most people with diabetes test their blood sugar multiple times a day, especially before meals and bedtime. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
